NASA Administrator Visit at KSC

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine made his first official visit to the agency's Kennedy Space Center on Monday, Aug. 6, 2018. His up-close look at the premier, multi-user spaceport began with a helicopter tour over the bustling Florida spaceport that included Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. NASA's Parker Solar Probe is being prepared for launch atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket. The mission will perform the closest-ever observations of a star when it travels through the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona. The probe will rely on measurements and imaging to revolutionize our understanding of the corona and the Sun-Earth connection.
